Friday caught a large turtle and while
trying to take the hook from it's mouth
his right fore-fnger was caught by the
turtle. The negro tried every means
of beating and persuasion but the tur-
tie was obdurate. No release could
be had. At length the negro cut the
head off which only increased the tur-
ties fury and grip. He was told by a
companion that the turtle would never
let loose until it Numbered SO he sat
quietly down on a stump on the bank
of the river waiting for it to thunder.
The last we heard of him he was nur-
sing the turtles head waiting for
thunder.-Mr. James B. Daniel a
| practical farmer of Cedar Grove town
ship; and a close observer of things
says: That the sovereign remedy for
the prevention of the "Yanky cab
bage bug" is to thoroughly swim
the cabbage and turnip seed, that the
egg and imperfect seed will fout leav-
ing the pure seed, minus the egg, SOW
then and you will not be troubled
with the bugs. Mr.. Daniel says that
he adopts this plan every year and he
is never pestered.

TIME.

feel so happy I cannot keep still =!
just one day more and twill be Christmas day,
And all the house is full Of secrets now,
And everybody whispers what they say.
When 90 in the door, unless knock,
Or rattle with my hand upon the latch,
Mamma hides something underneath her chair
And aunty Jumps up something else to snatch.
Johns cot a ball for Bess. and yesterday
HI let me bounce it ON the playrOOm floor,
And how we laughed when Bess came running up
TIC ask about the racket at the door.
I've made a heart-shapedp pin ball for papa,
And aunty's book mark now, at last, Is done
She has not seen it and she cannot guess
What I have for her-Oh, it is such fun
Tonight, when nurse went down to get our tea,
I watched the man lighting the lamps below,
And saw them twinkling up the long, long street.
Like a procession of stars down in the snow,
When jingle, jingle, straight up to our door
Came thrO' the dusk a horse, and wagon too,
A man Jumped out with bundles in his arms,
And to the stairtop all we children flew;
Then Jenny took them in, but ere we saw
Mamma ran up the stairs and drove US back,
But Rob said he was sure he saw a sled
When,n naughty boy, he peeped out thro' the crack
Tomorrow night I shall not go to sleep,
But watch the chimney, Santa Claus to see,
l think he is papa, but now he lives
In the spare room and aunty has the key.
And all the bundles Jenny puts in there
Tomorrow how the bell win ring all day
o dear how I do wish Christmas would como
And Santa Claus, and never go away.

The conclusion of this whole matter
is, that it is the duty Of u farmers
to protect themselves from unscrupul-
Gus spectators in crops, and secure
the highest market price for their
grain. Sharpers and confidence men
are always at work, but their schemes
can be circumvented by the intelligent
cooperation of the producers in any
given region. The total cereal crop
Of the United States 5000, 600, 600
bushels. The difference of one mill
a bushel is $4,000, 900; of one cent a
bushel, $4,000, 900. The farmers
are entitled to this difference. They
ought to have it, and let the specula-
tors and manipulators of "deals and
"corners" meet the fate that they
bring upon themselves, as notably in
the past summer, when the devasta.
ton produced among them was ter
rife and deserved.-Americam Agri:

Why She Went.

Not many years ago a foreign repre-
sentative in this country spent, with
his wife, some time in large and
fashionable hotel in one of our cities.
This foreign officials wife, stout
lady, who was unable TO speak a word
of English, was extremely fond of her
national dish, a sort OF pie made
largely of giblets.
The lady had great difficulty in. get
ting this dish made to her liking, and
frequently spent much time and ear
nest endeavor in the kitchen instruct
ing the cook, with queer culinary
pantomime, what ingredients to put
into it.
One day madame had succeeded in
producing a pie exactly to her liking,
and had eaten OF it at dinner with
great enthusiasm. But after time q
gentleman noticed that she was weep
ing silently as she sat at the table,
while her hands lay idly in her lap.
This gentleman, VINO was a man of
keen sympathies, was deeply touched,
and when the lady's weeping had
turned into pitiful sobbing, he could
not refrain from saying to her hus-
band:
"Pardon me, sir, butts madame
ill? Is she in pain ?''
cit is nothing-it will pass" said
the official.
But the trouble did not seem to
pass, and the lady continued to shed
tears and to sob hysterically.
The sympathetic gentleman was
still unable to contain himself.
"Pardon me once more" he said,
"but madame seems to be in great
distress of grief. Is there anything l
can do? Pray command me -
"Ah! Do not trouble, sir" said the
foreigner: "it is zis only zat is re mat
ter; madame have eaten her pie until
she can eat no more, and she veeps
viz grief zat she may not continue" !"
